Kat Von D's Metal Crush Highlighter Palette Is Here (Update)

UPDATE (November 8, 2017): Annnd we have a palette, folks. It's a three-pan'er with what appears to be a peach, a champagne and a pink highlighter — all of which can be used wet or dry, depending on how disco you want to go with your strobe. This palette is going to be in Sephora "this month" and will be very limited edition, so if you're on the fence, buy it first, ask questions later, is our suggestion. For $36, this Metal Crush Highlighter Palette is nothing if not a collector's item!

UPDATE (August 18, 2017 5:00 p.m.): Kat Von D is no longer hiding news of the upcoming Kat Von D Metal Crush Highlighters in the comments section of her persona Instagram posts. They just made their grand debut on the Kat Von D Beauty account, and I'm kind of hyperventilating. A video showing a prototype for a shimmery white gold shade was just posted. The swatch is so blindingly bright that you could probably start a fire if you reflected a magnifying glass off it. I mean, I could be wrong, though; I haven't been camping since I was a Girl Scout in third grade.

An official launch date hasn't been announce yet, let alone a timeframe to expect it. My fingers are crossed that they drop sooner than later. I need that powder (and every single shade it will inevitably come in) glowing-up my cheekbones ASAP.

Kat Von D just slipped some major news in a seemingly inconspicuous Instagram post. On her personal Instagram, she posted a picture of herself tattooing singer Toby Morse. For someone who owns a popular tattoo shop, that's totally normal, right? But wait, her followers noticed one small detail of the picture was different from her usual action shots: Von D's cheekbones had a new glow to them.

After handfuls of people asked what highlighter she was wearing, Von D revealed that it is something new. It's one of the upcoming Kat Von D Metal Crush Highlighters, to be exact. She replied to @keepyourskeletons saying, "oh just wait for the new @katvondbeauty Metal Crush highlighters!!! Coming sooooooon ! 😃✨✨✨✨" Did you just hear a record scratch, too? Kat Von D is finally launching highlighters — yes, plural highlighters. For the past couple years, I've been using the Best of Beauty-winning Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Thunderstruck (a pearly white) as a highlighter. (Von D's Artistry Collective swears by this hack, too.) However, now a highlighter will officially be joining the Metal Crush family, which only includes the shadow at the moment.

Kat Von D seems to be in a metallic era at the moment (and personally, I'm living for it). Today, the highly anticipated Shade + Light Glimmer Palette drops. Also, a collection of metallic liquid lipsticks is in the works. A super dreamy midnight blue hue, in particular, will be dropping as part of a collection for charity on November 1. (That's seriously not soon enough.) As for when the Kat Von D Metal Crush Highlighters are launching, a date has yet to be announced, but stay tuned.
